Impact of pharmaceutical care on mental well-being and perceived health among community-dwelling individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Purpose: Mental well-being among community-dwelling individuals with type 2 diabetes has not been well established. The primary objective was to evaluate the change in the mental well-being of individuals with diabetes. The secondary objective was to evaluate the association between changes in mental well-being and perceived health over 6 months, and any interacting factors in this association.

Multidisciplinary collaborative care in the management of patients with uncontrolled diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Diabetes is a chronic and complex disease that requires a multidisciplinary collaborative care approach.

Objective: The primary objective was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients with uncontrolled diabetes within a multidisciplinary collaborative care model. The secondary objective was to evaluate the humanistic and economic outcomes of this model of care.

Risk factors and quality of life of patients with high diabetes-related distress in primary care: a cross-sectional, multicenter study.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine risk factors and quality of life of patients with high diabetes-related distress (DRD) in primary care.

Methods: A cross-sectional, multicenter study was conducted in four primary healthcare institutions. Patients aged ≥ 21 years with T2DM were included; patients who were pregnant or unable to communicate independently were excluded from this study.

Cost-effectiveness of multidisciplinary collaborative care versus usual care in the management of high-risk patients with diabetes in Singapore: Short-term results from a randomized controlled trial.

What Is Known And Objective: Economic evidence of multidisciplinary collaborative care on glycaemic improvement in uncontrolled diabetic patients is limited. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of multidisciplinary collaborative care versus usual care and the secondary objective was to assess the cost-effectiveness of these two care approaches in relation to varying glycaemic control of patients.

Methods: An economic evaluation based on a six-month randomized controlled trial involving high-risk uncontrolled diabetic Asian patients with polypharmacy and multiple comorbidities was conducted from a healthcare institution perspective.

Patients' perceptions of pharmacist-managed diabetes services in the ambulatory care and community settings within Singapore.

Background Qualitative evidence on patients' perceptions of pharmacist-managed diabetes services (PMDSs) is limited. Objective To explore patients' perceptions of PMDSs Setting Patients being cared for in the outpatient settings in Singapore. Methods This focus group included patients who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, spoke either English or Mandarin, attended PMDSs for at least 6 months in the ambulatory care or community settings, and were at least 21 years of age.
